Purging the Fluid Filters
Once a week, purge air from the fluid filters for the 5 L plastic containers by
opening the bleeder valve on the top of each filter. This ensures that the filters
will not dry out.
1 Open the bleeder valve a small amount and leave it open until fluid seeps
out through the valve (see Figure 6-7 on page 202).
2 Close the valve.
3 Wipe up any excess fluid that might have dripped onto the fluidics cart.
Purging the Sheath Filter
Once a week, purge air from the sheath filter by opening the bleeder valve on the
top of the filter. The sheath tank is pressurized, so do this task carefully to avoid
spraying sheath fluid on any equipment.
1 Hold the sheath filter up vertically.
2 Place a small container under the bleeder valve to catch any fluid.
3 Slowly open the bleeder valve a small amount and leave it open until fluid
seeps out through the valve (see Figure 6-8 on page 203).
4 Close the valve.
5 Wipe up any excess fluid that might have dripped onto the fluidics cart.
